Daisy Ruth
Daisy Ruth covers professional wrestling with a focus on how news, history, and human stories intersect across WWE and AEW for Wrestling Inc. She treats the business as an ongoing narrative, tracking talent moves, legal developments, and health and legacy stories rather than isolated match results. Her work blends straight news, feature writing, and opinion formats, drawing on nearly a decade in digital journalism and a long-standing familiarity with WWE.
WWE news, talent moves, and legal developments
Ruth’s WWE coverage follows the roster and its shifting landscape, from ladder match qualifiers and championship stakes to new trademarks and contract status. Recent headlines include Lash Legend earning a SummerSlam ladder match spot on “WWE SmackDown” and Raquel Rodriguez’s defense of the Women’s Intercontinental Championship on “WWE Raw.” She reports on legal and corporate stories around the company, such as the closure of Janel Grant’s civil lawsuit involving WWE and Vince McMahon and trademark filings that spark fan speculation about new ring names.
Her archive also shows detailed tracking of departures and exits through pieces like “Every WWE Star Departure In 2026 So Far,” giving readers a structured view of who has left the company and when. She extends this continuity into retro coverage, writing “3 things we hated and 3 things we loved” around older WWE events like Royal Rumble 2016, treating past shows as part of the same storyline ecosystem.
Across this strand of her work, Ruth combines day-to-day news with longer-term personnel and legal arcs inside WWE.
AEW and cross-promotion reporting
Ruth covers AEW as intensively, writing breaking news, match results, and character-driven stories that link AEW programming to the wider wrestling scene.
In AEW News she has reported on MJF’s reaction to CM Punk’s Undisputed WWE Championship win, Thunder Rosa’s Mexican National Women’s Championship victory in CMLL, and various updates around AEW stars’ contracts and free agency. She tracks how AEW handles major moments and tragedies, including coverage of AEW Dynamite episodes dedicated to Pac and follow-up pieces on how WWE acknowledged his death on television and social media.
Her reporting includes tournament and card news, such as Davis and Doyle earning an AEW World Tag Team Championship shot against FTR and AEW Dynamite tribute show trios matches.
She also writes news around AEW’s promotional initiatives, from shows linked to Chris Jericho’s cruise to returns of former ROH champions and cross-brand appearances. This thread of work positions Ruth as a reporter who follows both the on-screen results and the business, contractual, and cross-promotion decisions shaping AEW.
Features, lists, and wrestler-focused storytelling
Ruth writes extensive features that catalog and explain broader trends and human stories in wrestling. Her features include list-based pieces like “Wrestlers Who Sadly Died In 2026 So Far” and companion coverage for 2025, which gather and contextualize deaths from territory-era names to recent TV talent. She applies the same method to the active roster, maintaining departure roundups and pieces on every WWE exit in 2026, which function as reference points for talent changes over the year.
She also writes wrestler-focused explainers such as “WWE Star Roman Reigns’ Leukemia Journey Explained,” outlining health and career impacts for key performers. Earlier work includes articles on “10 wrestling finishers that unleashed raw and brutal power” and backstage details on Dolph Ziggler and other talent released from WWE, blending move-driven analysis with reporting on employment status.
Beyond match and contract coverage, Ruth profiles careers and presentation, as in features on Eva Marie’s path from soccer ambitions to WWE and on why Gunther’s appearance has changed, connecting character evolution to broader career arcs. She further uses historical and behind-the-scenes angles in pieces that revisit iconic segments such as CM Punk’s “pipe bomb” promo through interviews with former WWE executives, tying present-day coverage to formative moments in the modern era of wrestling.
Results, ratings, predictions, and opinion formats
Alongside straight news and features, Ruth regularly writes event recaps, predictions, and ratings analysis that show how she processes shows as a viewer as well as a reporter.
She contributes to “3 things we hated and 3 things we loved” reviews for current episodes of “WWE Raw,” “WWE SmackDown,” and retro cards such as Royal Rumble events and Saturday Night’s Main Event, offering structured opinion framed around specific segments and matches. Her predictions work includes collaborative pieces where Wrestling Inc. staff pick winners for premium live events like WWE NXT Heatwave and NXT Stand & Deliver, combining storyline logic, booking patterns, and recent momentum into card-by-card forecasts.
She handles live-show reporting in results articles, including AEW Dynamite episodes dedicated to Pac and tournament matches, and event recaps for WWE NXT’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. Ratings and viewership analysis appears in her AEW Dynamite viewership and ratings reports, where she links audience numbers to show content and timing, such as the build to All Out.
Taken together, these formats show Ruth moving between news, commentary, and data, giving readers both what happened in the ring and why it matters for ongoing storylines and the business side of wrestling.
Experience and approach to interviews
Ruth has worked as a digital journalist and writer for almost ten years, covering breaking news and entertainment news, including WWE, across multiple outlets before joining Wrestling Inc. Her previous work has appeared on WTAE.com, WFLA.com, and StuffToDoInTampaBay in both written and video formats, reflecting experience in multi-platform coverage. She has interviewed high-profile wrestlers such as Drew McIntyre, Jimmy Hart, Roman Reigns, Alexa Bliss, Damian Priest, and Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat for pieces on WrestleMania, WWE’s charity initiatives, and diversity within the company. That interview history, paired with a lifelong engagement with WWE dating back to childhood, underpins her ability to write news and features that are grounded in both access to talent and a long view of the product.
